We may, however, disclose your personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with law. We use non-personal information such as demographic data to analyze and develop our marketing strategy or to determine how you found out about us, what your interests are regarding our services, and how to further improve our site and our service towards you. We also may share non-personal information with third parties.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
